<strong>Nonlinear</strong> Modeling <strong>of</strong> Complex<br />

Waveforms in the f − x Domain<br />

4.1 Linear <strong>Prediction</strong> in the f − x Domain<br />

F - X deconvolution is a popular noise attenuation tool first introduced by Canales<br />

(1984). Seismic traces are represented in the time-space domain. When one trans-<br />

forms each trace into a Fourier domain, the complex waveforms are represented in<br />

the frequency-space domain (f − x). Linear events are predicted for each frequency<br />

in the spatial direction <strong>of</strong> a given frequency. Therefore, if a signal can be predicted,<br />

the difference between the observed and predicted signals can be considered an<br />

estimation <strong>of</strong> the noise in the data.<br />

Linear prediction filters that map to monochromatic complex sinusoids in the f−<br />

x domain can accurately predict linear events in the t − x domain. A superposition<br />

<strong>of</strong> complex harmonics immersed in white noise can be predicted using an ARMA<br />

(autoregressive-moving average) model as suggested by Sacchi and Kuehl (2001).<br />
